Shopify vs WooCommerce for a Growing Store (2026)
Shopify or WooCommerce for a growing store? Plan prices and fees checked 16 October 2026, a cost sheet to fill in yourself, and who has to maintain what.
Web Design
Guides put a landing page anywhere from free to $25,000, and most skip the part that matters once you pay for clicks. This one reads the builder plans from the makers' own pages, sets out the published freelancer and agency ranges, and works out what a better page is worth. Checked 21 October 2026.
"Landing page cost" usually means one of three bills, and a fourth sits beside them:
Most guides blend the first three into one range. They behave differently, because the first is a subscription and the second is a one-off.
These are the pages that rank for this search, read in October 2026. Agencies and one landing page tool write them, so each range describes what its seller does.
| Source (date) | DIY or builder | Freelancer | Agency | Custom or enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uwindi (21 Sep 2026) | $0 upfront, then $22 to $99 a month | $300 to $1,500 | $1,125 to $5,000+ | $3,500 to $10,000+ |
| Wavespace (12 Oct 2026) | $0 to $500 | $500 to $2,000 | $2,000 to $10,000 | $10,000 to $25,000+ |
| Brand House (17 Oct 2026) | $0 to $100 a month | $150 to $1,500+ | $1,500 to $5,000+ | $3,500 to $7,500+ |
| Convertri (2026, undated) | $0 to $1,188 in year one | $300 to $1,500 | $1,500 to $10,000+ | Not separated |
Three things stand out. First, the agency floor moves from $1,125 to $2,000 depending on the source, and Uwindi explains one of its figures: a template-based page on the agency's own platform at the low end, a fully custom page on your site at the top. Second, Wavespace says design and development together can cost about twice as much as design alone, and that many founders are surprised when a cheap quote leaves the build out. Third, Brand House says a $200 page can cost more than it saves if it wastes ad budget through weak messaging, forms or tracking, which is the point the worked example below puts a number on.
Wavespace also gives build ranges by platform, which we repeat as its figures, not ours:
| Platform | Build cost, per Wavespace | Monthly cost, per Wavespace |
|---|---|---|
| Webflow | $1,500 to $8,000 | $14 to $39 |
| Framer | $1,000 to $6,000 | $10 to $30 |
| WordPress | $1,000 to $5,000 | $10 to $50 |
| Shopify | $1,000 to $5,000 | $29 to $299 |
| Custom code (Next.js) | $5,000 to $25,000 | $0 to $100 |
We read each maker's pricing page on 21 October 2026. Prices are US dollars and exclude tax. Annual figures are our arithmetic, the monthly price times 12.
| Platform and plan | Price on yearly billing | Per year | What the page says it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrd Pro | From $19 a year | $19 | Custom domains, forms, no "Made with Carrd" branding, and more than three sites |
| Framer Free | $0 | $0 | A Framer domain, 1 GB bandwidth |
| Framer Basic | $10 a month | $120 | Free custom domain, 2 CMS collections, 50 GB bandwidth |
| Framer Pro | $30 a month | $360 | 10 CMS collections, 100 GB bandwidth |
| Webflow Starter | Free | $0 | webflow.io domain, 2 static pages, 50 form submissions |
| Webflow Basic | $15 a month | $180 | Custom domain, 300 static pages, unlimited form submissions |
| Wix Light | $17 a month | $204 | Free domain for one year, 2 GB storage |
| Unbounce Starter | $22 a month, or $29 monthly | $264, or $348 | 5 pages, up to 500 visitors, lead gen forms |
| Unbounce Build | $74 a month, or $99 monthly | $888, or $1,188 | Unlimited pages, up to 20,000 visitors, custom scripts and pixels, multi-step forms |
| Unbounce Experiment | $112 a month, or $149 monthly | $1,344, or $1,788 | Unlimited A/B testing, up to 30,000 visitors, 3 users |
Leadpages' pricing page headline says plans start at $29 a month to build and publish, and testing features start at $99 a month. We did not get a clean per-plan reading from it, so we leave its plan table out.
The pattern is clear. A general site builder charges for the site, so a landing page on one adds little. A dedicated landing page builder charges for pages, traffic and testing, which suits teams that launch many campaign pages and run tests. Webflow and Framer are platforms we build on, so weigh those rows with that in mind, and see our Squarespace, Webflow and Framer comparison for their limits.
| Route | Published range | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Do it yourself | $0 to $500 (Wavespace), $0 to $100 a month (Brand House) | Your time, a template, your own copy |
| Low-cost freelancer | $100 to $800 (Wavespace), $150 to $500 (Brand House) | A template page when you already have the words and images |
| Experienced freelancer | $500 to $3,000 (Wavespace), $500 to $1,500+ (Brand House) | Custom layout, forms, basic tracking |
| Agency | $1,125 to $5,000+ (Uwindi), $2,000 to $10,000 (Wavespace) | Strategy, copy, design, build, tracking and checks |
| Custom build | $3,500 to $10,000+ (Uwindi) | Integrations, variants and structured testing |
Uwindi's source for the agency floor is a published per-page price of $1,125 for a template page and $3,000 for a fully custom one, with copywriting quoted separately, and $1,875 for a two-variation package. That is a useful reminder that variants multiply the price.
These combine the sourced figures above. They are our sums and examples, not quotes, and they leave out ad spend and a domain unless stated.
| Route | Build | Where it lives | First-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY on Carrd Pro | Your time | $19 a year, domain $10 to $30 | $29 to $49 |
| DIY on Framer Basic | Your time | $120, free custom domain per Framer's page | $120 |
| Freelancer, page on Webflow Basic | $300 to $1,500 | $180 | $480 to $1,680 |
| Freelancer, page on Unbounce Build | $300 to $1,500 | $888 on yearly billing | $1,188 to $2,388 |
| Agency, page on your own site | $1,500 to $5,000+ | No extra plan | $1,500 to $5,000+ |
The domain range of $10 to $30 a year comes from Convertri. A page on your own site adds no subscription, according to Uwindi, which is why the agency row has no hosting line. For the platform bills behind each row, see our guides to Webflow, WordPress and Shopify costs.
A landing page is usually paid for by traffic, so the page price should be read next to the traffic bill. This is a worked example with made-up inputs, not a market average, and you should swap in your own.
Assume 1,000 paid visits a month at $5 a click, which is $5,000 a month.
| Conversion rate | Leads a month | Cost per lead |
|---|---|---|
| 2% | 20 | $250 |
| 3% | 30 | $167 |
A page that moves the rate from 2% to 3% adds 10 leads a month on the same spend. If the more careful page costs $2,000 more than the cheap one, then:
Nobody can promise a lift from 2% to 3%, and a bigger page budget does not guarantee one. The point is the shape of the sum. A $29 builder plan is small next to $5,000 of clicks, so the cheaper page is not always the cheaper choice. Our guides to landing page structure and the step-by-step process cover what to build in; our overview of website conversion optimization covers measuring it.

At Amariq, we design landing pages and build them on Webflow or Framer, so your team can edit them without a developer. We price each project from its scope, never by the hour, and the written proposal fixes the scope, the milestones and the delivery date. Our service pages put a Webflow build from an approved design at three to six weeks and a Framer marketing site at two to five, and a single page is a smaller job than a whole site. Payment runs in three steps: 40% at the start, 30% at design approval and 30% before launch. After the last payment, the design, copy and code we write are yours, and the domain, hosting and analytics accounts stay in your name. See our Webflow development, Framer development and conversion-focused redesign pages, and our guide to choosing a web design agency.
The guides we read run from $0 on a free builder to $10,000 or more for a custom build. A freelancer page is $300 to $1,500 in Uwindi's guide, and an agency page is $1,125 to $5,000+ there, $2,000 to $10,000 at Wavespace and $1,500 to $5,000+ at Brand House. Check what the quote includes.
It can be. Framer has a free plan with a Framer domain, and Webflow's Starter plan is free with a webflow.io domain and two static pages. A custom domain, more pages or testing usually moves you to a paid plan.
On the pages we read, the host is $10 a month for Framer Basic and $15 for Webflow Basic on yearly billing, and Unbounce starts at $22 a month yearly or $29 monthly. Carrd Pro starts at $19 a year, which is under $2 a month.
It sits at the floor of Brand House's agency range, below Wavespace's $2,000 agency floor, and at the top of several freelancer ranges. Whether it is good depends on whether it covers copy, tracking and forms, and on the traffic you will send.
Wavespace's guide gives 1 to 3 days for a DIY page, 1 to 2 weeks for a freelancer, 2 to 4 weeks for an agency and 4 to 8 weeks for an enterprise build. Copy and approvals usually decide the date.
Only once you have enough traffic to learn from it. On Unbounce, testing sits on the $112 a month plan on yearly billing, which allows up to 30,000 visitors. Start with a clear page and good tracking, then test one change at a time.
A landing page has one job and one next step, and often no menu. A website serves many visitors with many goals. Our guide to landing page structure shows how a page is put together, and our website redesign cost guide covers the whole site.
